On July 17, nearly one year after the Black Sea Grain Initiative was signed in Istanbul, Russia decided to not renew the agreement that allows Ukraine to export agricultural goods to global markets. As underlined by the Secretary General of the UN, this initiative has been “a beacon of hope in a world that desperately needs it.”
In addition, the BSGI ensured continued access to grain for the World Food Program. In 2023, Ukraine supplied 80 percent of the wheat procured to support humanitarian operations in the most food insecure countries like Afghanistan, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Without the Black Sea route, the WFP has to get its grain elsewhere at higher prices and with a longer lead-time at a time when the world is facing an unprecedented food crisis.
Despite these well-known and verifiable facts, Russia decided to pull out of the BSGI, using food as a weapon and endangering the global food supply. Hours after withdrawing from the initiative, Russia started also to destroy Ukraine’s grain storage facilities and port infrastructure with daily targeted attacks, not only in the Black Sea itself but also in the Danube.
